Jing Yu ate the tender and smooth egg custard in the bowl, looked up at his third uncle and nodded.
Li Shaozhong said, "Say whether you are willing or not. Just nodding is not enough. You have to speak it out."
Li Jingyu looked up at his uncle for a long time before finally saying, "Yes. I like Sister Xiao Ning."
Li Shaozhong felt relieved when he heard his nephew's words. He patted his nephew's head and said, "You can't call me sister, you have to call me aunt. Otherwise, there's a generation gap. Since you like it, we will live with your aunt Xiao Ning from now on."
This time, Yan Jingwen picked up Li Shaozhong from the hospital and brought all of Li Shaozhong's belongings from the oil field with him. In addition to bedding, there were also some books and daily necessities.
Li Shaozhong found a book to pass the time.
Li Jingyu sat quietly aside playing with a Luban lock that Ye Shuning gave him.
At noon, Ye Shuning hurried home to cook, for she was afraid that Li Shaozhong and his nephew would be hungry.
She first boiled some water and took out the milk powder, which Li Shaoyang had sent her, and made a bowl of milk for Li Shaozhong and Li Jingyu. She also found several bags of milk powder in the dormitories of several colleagues at the institute, and from then on she used Li Shaoyang as an excuse.
Li Shaozhong looked at Ye Shuning bringing in two bowls of milk and said, "What are you doing?"
Ye Shuning put the milk on the table and said, "Your body needs nutrition now, this is to replenish your nutrition. Jingyu will drink a bowl with you. We will eat later."
Li Shaozhong said, "I don't need it. I'm in good health. You're so thin, you need nutrition too. Just drink it."
Seeing Li Shaozhong being so disobedient, Ye Shuning glared at him and said, "How am I thin? I've gained a lot of weight in the past few months. I just need to eat normally. If you don't listen, what if you get sick because you're weak and have a low resistance? This is the milk powder sent by Second Brother Li. We still have a lot at home. Drink it quickly."
You think that if you get sick again before your injury heals, won’t that cause me more trouble? So you have to get well soon so that you can help with the housework.”
As she spoke, Ye Shuning handed the milk to Li Shaozhong.
Li Shaozhong looked at Ye Shuning and felt a little angry, but he had no choice but to take the milk.
The amount of milk given to Li Jingyu was not much, only half a bowl, and Ye Shuning fed the little guy.
After the uncle and nephew finished drinking the milk, Ye Shuning said, "I'll go cook. We'll be able to eat soon."
Steamed buns in the morning were enough for lunch. Ye Shuning made rice and mung bean porridge, stewed eggplant with beans, stir-fried bacon with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Before Li Shaozhong was discharged from the hospital and came to Fengyang Village, Ye Shuning and everyone went to the town and bought a lot of things. Together with the things that Li Shaozhong had people send, there were a lot of things at home that could provide Li Shaozhong with nutritional supplements.
The Pan family had sent a basket of eggs yesterday, and she had also found quite a few eggs in the research institute. The chickens she had previously kept in the research institute's space would soon begin laying eggs, so she wouldn't have to worry about having eggs in the future.
Li Shaozhong's body needs nutrition. He is very weak now. If he doesn't get enough nutrition, he may get sick. She doesn't want him to suffer from sequelae like in the book.
Ye Shuning prepared the meal in the yard and brought it to the dining table in the main hall. Then she went into the house and helped Li Shaozhong out to eat.
Sitting in the main room, it was much cooler with the breeze through, so Ye Shuning served a bowl of porridge to both Li Shaozhong and his nephew.
She sat down and put a lot of dishes into the other empty bowl in front of Li Jingyu so that the little guy could eat more.
Ye Shuning looked up and asked, "Brother Li, how are you feeling today? Can you do it alone?"
Li Shaozhong said: "No problem, don't worry."
He looked at the sumptuous meal on the table that was obviously carefully prepared and said, "Xiao Ning, you don't need to prepare so many dishes every day. It's enough for the three of us."
Ye Shuning nodded. "I didn't prepare anything special. Most of the vegetables I cook are grown at home, so they don't cost much. These eggs were sent by Aunt Pan to nourish your body."
I have two chickens myself, but they're not ready to lay eggs yet. These eggs will gradually go stale if we don't eat them. This bacon was sent by your friend.
Besides, your body needs nutrition now. Once you recover, I will be free to do whatever I want. But you are living in my house now, and I am the cook. You have to listen to me when it comes to what you eat in the future."
Seeing Ye Shuning's assertive attitude, Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. From now on, you have the final say on what to eat. I will definitely not interfere. I have some savings and some notes, which is enough for us to live on."
He was very confident in Ye Shuning's cooking skills. Once he recovered, it would be no problem for him to support Ye Shuning and his nephew.
At this time, Li Shaozhong had unconsciously classified Ye Shuning as one of his own people.
Ye Shuning's cooking skills are naturally impeccable, and just looking at the speed at which Li Jingyu eats tells it all.
Li Shaozhong naturally felt better after eating the delicious meal. It would be a great pleasure to eat the meals made by Ye Shuning every day.
After lunch, Ye Shuning asked Li Shaozhong to take Li Jingyu to rest. She cleaned up the dishes, picked up a bucket, and took the fishing rod she had made two days ago and left the house.
Not far from the entrance of Fengyang Village was a river about ten meters wide and quite deep. Ye Shuning used her spiritual power to explore it and found that there were quite a few fish in it.
The river is very deep, so people only fish in the shallows, though few actually catch anything. Some people do fish, and if they're lucky, they might catch a few, but only occasionally. Therefore, few people even consider fishing in this river, as it's simply impossible to catch them.
She didn't have that problem. She had planned to go fishing long ago. Not only were there fish in her research institute, but she also had mental strength, so she wasn't worried about not being able to catch any. She only had a fishing rod for show.
Li Shaozhong needs nutrition, but they don’t have enough meat coupons to buy meat, so the ownerless fish in the water are the best nutrition.
She had already found a fishing spot, under a tree, so she wouldn't be exposed to the sun. Ye Shuning sat in the shade, put on the bait, and started fishing.
She didn't use her mental power at first. She was going to try her luck. It would be best if she could catch some fish, but if not, she would just use her mental power to catch a few.
Because her bait was mixed with sesame oil, it worked very well and soon the fish took the bait. She swung the fishing rod and caught a big crucian carp that was bigger than an adult man's palm.
Ye Shuning placed the lively fish into the bucket. Crucian carp makes excellent fish soup, delicious and nutritious. Live fish can survive in the water for several days, so Li Shaozhong's nutrition is secure for the next few days.
Ye Shuning saw that it was getting late and she had to go to school to teach students in the afternoon, so she released her mental power and collected some of the fish in the water into the research institute, and then transferred some of them into the bucket.
Although her mental power could only reach a few dozen meters around her, she was already very satisfied.
